Ok 2 solutions for 2 seperate issues. Before we begin the silver strip you are refering to is recongnizable to the PS2 as the main power source. It comes from where the reset and power button are located and slides in place underneath the disc holder to tell the PS2 we have power.
Ok moving on.
Issue #1 Where the strip is all intact and nothing broke off it with the white tipped end just fine. What you need to do to fix this. MAKE NOTE HERE THAT THIS WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY U HAVE ON THE PS2. Go online and find a step-by-step instruction on how to take the top off then the disc holder. Now you need tweezers for this. You have the Silver Strip and if you look under the disc holder you will see 3 slots (2 filled with other silver strips) the middle is the power. Take the tweezers and put them on the tip of the stripe and GENTLY AND I STRESS GENTLY slide it into the slot with the blue tip underneath.
Issue #2 Where the strip is off but is in half. You need super glue you should be able to super glue the two parts back together if you are careful. JUST REMEMBER SONY WILL NOT TAKE IT SINCE TAKING OFF THE TOP VOIDS ANY WARRANTY. If the super glue works then follow same instructions in solution #1 sliding it into place if not able to be super glued then your PS2 is no longer functional and im srry for the loss. (If that's the case i can make it to the funeral just not the viewing) Happy Fixings!
Hope this Helped and was very Easy to Understand

Well, Prvt. Connor that maybe the reset button was damage and wire loss, I suggest you to open PS2 console and look at the reset button wire and change it if was broken or replace and clening than place it again

You need to use a pair of needle nose pliers and grip the ribbon cable by the stiff plastic strip and plug it into the second connector from the front that I believe is White. These connectors are near where the Reset Eject button locates. Check out my website www.playstationclinic.com
